Oh Kathy, congratulations! And I like your choice of favorite animal! Guess what? It’s my favorite animal too! Yay! Even though I don’t know what it is — yay! Thanks for the nomination also — I appreciate it very much. I lavish upon you accolades!

Thanks! Especially for the use of the word ‘lavish’. It makes me feel all royal and purple-y. Like I should wear a tiara now. And since you have the award too, you can ALSO wear a tiara! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!

You’re welcome! As for 8 … we have a long history, the number 8 and me. It’s my lucky number, and if you do that whole numerology thing it gets a bit spooky with how often it turns up. Plus, it’s like infinity, only sideways! Sideways infinity!
